Is this The Dude?

So, I'm looking to buy a Precision bass (switching from a Jazz) and found this video. Awhile back I had some issues with a tab and emailed The Dude about it. The name in the video looks similar to the name on the email I received from him. I may have just made a fool of myself by asking this, but that'd be kinda cool if it is in fact The Dude in this video.
